I'm as much of a fan as starting Monopoly games I may or may not finish with friends as the next guy, but you have to admit the game is starting to look a little dated. Created in 1935 Monopoly made names like Park Place famous and taught us all to build up the cheap areas quickly to become virtual slum lords. Good times, but we need a game for today!

The call has be answered: this fall Hasbro is going to release an updated version with airports instead of railroads, and modern day properties like Times Square, Wrigley Field, and Golden Gate Bridge. Prices will be more in line with the inflated dollar, and Community Chest cards will also be updated for our times.

You can vote now to see if you can get your landmark onto the board, and the place with the most votes with get the much coveted Boardwalk square. I'm wondering what Free Parking is going to turn into, and looking forward to see what places make the final cut.

Of course, we're also opening the door for another spurt of Monopoly budget-priced PC games. I can't wait for those to clog the shelves.
